ESSENTIAL INTERVIEWEE SKILLS TRAINING:
Many people feel uncomfortable in interview situations, as in any situations where others are in a position of judging them. What’s being evaluated is your professional competence — or the appearance of it. But there are also other factors, which are more intangible: what your character is (or appears to be), whether or not you’re likable (to the interviewer)…
At its core, a job interview is really just a specific kind of conversation. This Training Programme complete with sample interview scripts and workbooks, will help one make the preparations necessary to keep that conversation focused, productive, and pleasant.
To successfully answer job interview questions, one has to find a balance between:
– Making some adjustments to correct problems in your approach,
– and remaining true to yourself.
